Chapter Seventy-Eight: First Sight to Ning Hou
Lu Binrou's face turned stern, she gently broke free from the hand of the county lord of Pingyang, stepped in front of her, and stopped her from moving forward, the county lord of Pingyang looked at her in surprise, Lu Binrou held her shoulder, and asked condescendingly: "County lord, what you said just now, but what you said casually is not true?" ”
Pingyang said: "What? What do you mean by that porter, Sister Lu, don't worry, if I hear any unpleasant rumors, I will definitely not be able to spare him......"
Lu Binrou interrupted her and said, "Since the two of us got out of the car, I have held your hand, and in the eyes of outsiders, this is you and a man holding hands." There was not only the porter present, but also your attendants, and perhaps passers-by, street cleaners, how can you be sure that it must be the porter chewing on the root of the tongue? ”
When the county lord of Pingyang heard this, he said: "Where can I manage so much, how can I know who the passers-by and the people who clean the streets are...... Besides, how do people know who I am? Sister, you can't help but think too much. ”
Lu Binrou shook her head, leaned over, and said at eye level with her: "County Lord, if I hadn't forgotten my dress and held your hand in front of others, there would be no such things." Therefore, the fault lies with me, and I can't be angry with others, this is one of them; Second, if the matter is not clarified, he cannot convict someone at will, even if he is only a servant, he cannot be wronged at will; Third, you know that I am at fault, but you turn a blind eye, and the porter just takes a second look, and you assume that it is all his fault, which is partiality and injustice. County Lord, do you understand, it's not appropriate for you to do this? ”
The county lord of Pingyang looked at her in a daze, and suddenly laughed for a while, and said while laughing: "Sister Lu, why are you suddenly so strict, just like interrogating a prisoner...... I'm not an official, so what should I do so fairly? ”
Lu Binrou also realized that she was a little too much, the county lord of Pingyang was not her younger brothers, she was a person who was not related to her, what qualifications did she have to put on the posture of the eldest sister to teach her a lesson?
But after a few days of contact, she really likes this little girl, although she is a little reckless and ignorant, but she is kind by nature, and now she looks like this, she is also affected by the family, and she is still young, so don't be okay or get better. So I unconsciously educated her just now.
The county lord of Pingyang laughed for a while, suddenly raised his head, winked at Lu Binrou and said, "Sister Lu, you are very good-looking in this dress, better than my father." If only you were a man, I would marry you in the future. ”
Lu Binrou was blushed by her words, and the momentum she was holding back disappeared all of a sudden, she patted Pingyang's head heavily, and said shyly: "Little girl, you know what to marry or not, don't talk nonsense." ”
Pingyang touched the back of her head that was hurt by her, pouted and said, "I don't understand anything, I know that you will marry Cousin Yue in the future, and you will be my cousin-in-law in the future." If Cousin Yue treats you badly, you can come to me, let's live together and see who dares to bully you in the capital. ”
Lu Binrou grabbed her ears and said angrily: "Little man, I dare to make fun of my sister, I don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick if I don't teach you a lesson." Say, still talking nonsense? ”
Pingyang was pulled by her and screamed, begging for mercy: "Sister Lu, it hurts, it hurts, spare me, I won't talk nonsense anymore......
The two entered the second gate and walked all the way to a two-entry courtyard on the East Road, which was the original study and living room when Zhi Ninghou's father was still alive, and Zhi Ninghou would live here for a full month every year in the month of his father's death. At the gate of the courtyard, there was a middle-aged man standing, who was also stunned when he saw the two, and saluted to the county lord of Pingyang County: "County lord, but you are here to find the Hou Ye?" ”
The county lord of Pingyang looked very solemn at this person, and said, "Uncle Li, yes, I have something to ask to see my father." ”
At this time, Huang Nei, who led the way for them, stood closer to Lu Binrou and explained to her softly: "This is the former housekeeper Li in the Ninghou Mansion, and now he is the housekeeper of the outer courtyard in the princess's mansion. ”
Steward Li said: "The Hou Ye is chanting for the old Hou Ye, the county lord will wait a minute, I will go in and say a reply." ”
The county lord of Pingyang did not insist on entering this time, but nodded, and Steward Li gave them a salute, entered the courtyard gate, and walked out after a while, saying, "Lord Hou invites the county lord to enter the house." ”
The county lord of Pingyang nodded, and led Lu Binrou to go in, and Steward Li said, "I don't know if this is ......"
The lord of Pingyang County said: "I am looking for my father today because it has something to do with him, why, I am not allowed to bring it in?" ”
Steward Li's face did not move, and said, "The county lord is too careful, and the old slave just asked in passing." The people who are mainly brought by the county can naturally be brought. ”
The county lord of Pingyang snorted lightly this time, but he didn't say anything more, and pulled Lu Binrou to walk inside.
The two entered the courtyard, Lu Binrou looked up, the main room and the supporting room are five-bay hard mountain ash tube tile roof, and there is a plaque hanging on the main hall of the head, with the title "Rong Zhixuan", which should be a place to meet guests.
In the matching room between the west side, the two of them crossed the high threshold, Lu Binrou looked over, and saw Zhi Ninghou sitting behind the table, the setting sun just hit his face through the window, his pale and thin cheeks were plated with a faint layer of gold, and the long and thick eyelashes cast a small shadow under his eyes.
He narrowed his eyes and looked at the two of them.
The county lord of Pingyang saluted, she looked up at Zhi Ninghou, subconsciously bit her lower lip, and said, "Father, I came to you today because I have something to confess to you. ”
Zhi Ninghou didn't speak after listening, he looked at Lu Binrou next to him and asked, "...... is this son?"
Lu Binrou hurriedly stepped forward, although she was wearing men's clothes, she still gave a blessing to a boudoir girl, and said in her original voice: "I have seen Master Hou, the little girl's surname is Lu, and Hou Weiyuan is my father." ”
Zhi Ninghou was obviously a little surprised, he looked at Lu Binrou carefully, and said, "It turned out to be Miss Lu." But...... I don't know what Miss Lu and the little girl are doing when they come together? ”
At this time, the county lord of Pingyang on the side interjected: "Father, I asked Sister Lu to accompany me, and it was also for the things I wanted to tell you. ”
Zhi Ninghou looked at her at this time, and said in a faint voice: "Since this is the case, then you can say it." ”
The county lord of Pingyang looked at his father's unhappy face, and he didn't know how to speak for a while. She paused for a while, and Fang said with some difficulty: "Father, there was an accident a few days ago, I borrowed your fan......"
Zhi Ninghou's eyes narrowed when he heard this, and the words of the county lord of Pingyang were even more difficult: "That fan...... Something went wrong, and I was afraid that your heart would hurt, so I found another one, thinking that I would return it to you first, and then slowly find another authentic hand......"
Zhi Ninghou slapped the table and stood up when he heard this, pointed at the county lord of Pingyang and said angrily: "Sure enough, it's you!" Rebel girl, you learned to lie and deceive your father at a young age, is that how your mother taught you? ”
The tears of the county lord of Pingyang flowed down the ground, she also raised her head, her eyes red and shouted: "It's my fault, you scold me and I have nothing to say, what does it have to do with my mother?" ”
Zhi Ninghou said angrily: "Look at you now, you are acting in a formless manner, disobedient and domineering, why didn't you learn from her?" ”
The county lord of Pingyang said loudly: "This matter is a disaster that I caused alone, my mother doesn't know about it at all, you can't wronged your mother so casually!" ”
Zhi Ninghou sneered: "I really don't know, if you know, with your mother's domineering character, where will you get any fake fan, in her eyes, I am afraid it will be the blessing of that fan to be destroyed in her hands." She doesn't even care about people's joys, sorrows, and blessings, let alone a fan! ”
The county lord of Pingyang burst into tears, and she insisted: "This is my business, and it has nothing to do with my mother!" ”
Zhi Ning Hou said: "Kneel!" ”
The county lord of Pingyang knelt on the bright bluestone floor tiles, but his waist was still straight, and although his little face was mottled by tears, he was stubborn and unyielding.
